Angelina Ballerina is a little star with big dreams of becoming a prima ballerina. This feisty little mouse works hard to reach her goal and along the way, always learns from her mistakes. When little girls share in Angelina's experiences, they're inspired to go after their big dreams too. In addition to the critically acclaimed story books created by Katharine Holabird and Helen Craig, Angelina Ballerina dances her way into the hearts of young girls weekly on PBS KIDS®.
Angelina is an imaginative, clever, determined little mouseling who is passionate about dancing and life.
Both on and off stage, 8-year-old Angelina is a feisty spirit bursting with energy. She is constantly plié-ing, pirouetting and jeté-ing with exuberance! While she sometimes has the tendency to be unfocused about anything that does not involve dance, Angelina's talent and determination ultimately allow her to persevere - and be the star of the show.
Angelina twirls, skips and leaps through life, dreaming of dancing like a real ballet star. Anything can trigger one of her vivid daydreams, in which she usually imagines herself in an important performance. This little mouseling has HUGE emotions - Angelina can feel annoyed with her little sister Polly, ecstatic about dancing on stage with her best friend Alice and tearful about forgetting her book bag - all in one morning!
Angelina's dreams don't always go according to plan, but luckily there are positive lessons to learn along the way. And when Angelina makes a mistake, she's quick to apologize and try to make amends. She is sympathetic, and if she makes a mess she'll help clean it up - unless she's so busy dancing she doesn't notice!
